ExopedRobotic Exoskeleton

Exoped Robotic Exoskeleton is a walking assistance system that gives back the ability of walking to paraplegic patients and people with lower limb disabilities . This robot can help users to sit, stand and walk and can be considered as an alternative and replacement for wheelchairs.

Exoskeleton technology is known as one of the advanced robotic technologies around the world and, until now, just a few exoskeleton companies in the US, Japan and Israel succeeded in making commercial products. Pedasys, the Iranian knowledge-based company, a group of university professors, researchers and engineers who have experience in power-assisted and rehabilitation robotic systems, has succeeded designing “Exoped”, a lower-limb robotic exoskeleton for walking of paraplegic patients.

Exoped robotic exoskeleton has two versions: Clinicaland Personal versions.The clinical version is delivered with carrier belts, parallel bars and a special data-logging software. In this version, user can wear and use Exoped under supervision of a clinical therapist.Exoped personal version is delivered with crutches, rechargeable batteries and an embedded computer. User can use it to walk freely at home or outdoor spaces.Currently, Exoped clinical version has passed various standard medical tests to get needed certificates and soon will be available in rehabilitation clinics in Iran.

The benefits ofusing Exoped exoskeleton

Giving back the ability of walking to lower-limb disabled patients gives them independence, hope, self-confidence and better quality of life. Besides, the ability of movement leads in better physical condition like better blood circulation, blood pressure adjustment, better breathing, avoiding digestion and kidney problems or bedsore, chronic pains, and muscle weakness.Exoped also can be used for gait training for patients with gait disorders.

How does Exoped work?

Exoped is a lower-limb exoskeleton that can carry patient’s weight and transfer it directly to the ground. User can wear this robot over his regular clothes. Exoped uses four powerful electric motors placed in four joints of hips and knees. These motors can move patient’s legs by different patterns and speeds, thus patient can walk without consuming any considerable energy.

Who can use Exoped?

Patients with lower-limb disabilities (paraplegia), muscle weakness or gait disorders can use Exoped. Patient needs to have enough ability and power to use his hands in order to control his body. Exoped clinical version can be used in neurosciences, rehabilitation and physical therapy labs. In addition, research centers can benefit from this product.

This product has a one-year guaranty including installation and training, and five years of warranty, including periodic services, software updates, spare parts, maintenance and calibration.

AboutPedasys

Pedasys is a company that designs and manufactures power-assisted robots and rehabilitation systems for disabled patients, elderly people.

In 2013, Pedasys group established by a group of talented researchers and graduates of Tehran university, Sharif university of technology and Tarbiat Modares university. In 2014, the group started basic studies, market planning and fundamental design of a robotic exoskeleton for paraplegic patients using their valuable experinces of designing various industrial robots. In this year, Shenasa-VC, Pasargad financial group venture capital, accepted supporting the project and made a big step forward for realisation of first iranian exoskeleton robot, Exoped. In 2015, the group is accepted and recognized as a knowledge-based company in Sharif advanced technologies incubator, where the company is still resided in.

In recent years, many PhD and Msc Engineering students have cooperated on this project, and chose their university studies related to this project.
